Fair question. I think we should keep a close eye on the markets. I wouldn’t call it dead quite yet — the futures market you mention is extremely thin. Only a few hundred BTC per day. Either side could manipulate that market without even a sweat.

I’d love to see a larger futures market arise to help answer this question.
